If it’s not possible to get the Epstein Files released because Republicans would rather protect pedophiles than victims, maybe a patriotic staff member could leave them in a bathroom in Congress or somewhere.

If there are no real legal grounds for the BBC to fear a court case or to pay anything, that’s great.
